Hello! I Need to add country code(0063)to a list of phone numbers. My data looks like this:
Phone
4345121
464158245
29767111
998625676
63465126026
639208907675

My problem is that the numbers are a mix of cellphone and landline with some numbers already have the country code(63).
The conditions are these:
1.If phone length <= 7 then newphone is 00632phone
2.If phone length=8 and frst digit =2 then newphone is 0063phone
3.If phone length=9 and first two digits are in(46,32,82 etc,) then newphone is 0063phone.
4.if phone length =11 and first two digits = 63 then newphone is 00phone
5. If phone length is 9 and first digit is 9 then newphone is 0063phone
6. If phone length is 12 and first 3 digits are 639 then newphone is 00phone.

Newphone should look like this:
006324345121
0063464158245
006329767111
0063998625676
0063465126026
00639208907675

Any help will be much appreciated.

Your rules are relatively clear, you can turn them into if/then statements. 

 

Use length to get the length of the phone number and Catt to add prefix. 

This assumes you have a character variable, but use PUT if you need to convert it. 

 

If length(phone) <= 7 then new_phone = catt('00632', phone);

else if length(phone)=8 and substr(phone, 1, 1) = '2' then new_phone = catt('0063', phone);

else ... etc
